• It’s the first time AI was used to cause a mass human casualty event.

  No it’s not. Israel used AI to kill over 20,000 children.

• They’re using AI so they can blame AI… It’s not like they wouldn’t have bombed the school without AI, they’re just using it as a scapegoat.

• That’s not exactly correct… They’re called executive orders because they come from the executive branch, not because they only apply to the executive branch.

  Executive orders primarily direct the executive branch, but they can also impose legally binding obligations on private companies when supported by constitutional or statutory authority.

  Now, is this executive order specifically legally binding and supported by the constitution, lol no, it only applies to what the government has to call it. The companies are sucking his dick and showing their true colors.

  Helpful to know your enemies, but completely harmless in and of itself. Recent estimates say the US can absorb seven more waves of Iranian attacks before they completely run out of interceptors, and interceptors ordered today won’t be delivered until 2029… Americans don’t realize just how badly Iran defeated them, and it’s why he’s openly contemplating using nukes, renaming a lake is a desperate attempt to distract from that.

• Fortunately, that’s not how it works.

  The private key is created on your server, not by Let’s encrypt, and it’s never transferred to them. Nobody can decrypt your data.

  Certbot (the official ACME client) is open source, but you’re also welcome to use any other client of your choosing, or make your own. The secrets never leave your server.

  Unless the NSA has working powerful quantum computers that can break public key encryption, that they are successfully hiding from the public, they wouldn’t be able to break let’s encrypt certificates backed public key encryption, the math just doesn’t math. It would still take the most powerful super computers millions of years to break RSA 2048.

  There’s a reason they want to make encryption illegal, instead of just letting us trust it like sheep. Thankfully, we don’t have to trust anyone, it’s all verifiable math.

• Happens all the time, domain squatters buy expired domains all the time, they have some policies in place to prevent that, you can’t just register a domain the day it expires.

  Namecheap has a 30 day renewal grace period, where they change your domain’s dns records to point to their page to let you know your domain expired. That means everything you use the domain for stops working for 30 days. If you renew at any point in those 30 days at the normal renewal price, everything goes back to normal.

  If you don’t renew during the grace period, they may sell it in an auction lot of expired domains. If they did, you’re SOL, the domain has a new owner.

  I’ve experienced this when a payment card failed auto renewal and my domain suddenly stopped working. If you don’t notice for 30 days, you’re not using the domain…

• The fact that you compared “AI powered sex doll” to Linus using an LLM to generate code he reviewed and accepted (as if he’s reviewing any of the many contributions he reviews and constantly rejects for the simplest mistakes) shows that you know nothing about the different applications of “AI”.

  Yes, the “AI powered” sex toy is an example of an idiotic scam, the AI powered assistant that hallucinates in a conversation isn’t very useful, but code that literally does what it should do, reviewed by a competent engineer, is no different from reviewing code from any of your coworkers. It’s code, if it’s garbage you reject it, is it isn’t then the tool was useful.

• For an AI to troubleshoot problems with your computer (something it’s really good at today), it needs content like reddit’s. Books don’t and won’t detail weird software issues and their workarounds. One the current training set becomes irrelevant to whatever software people are running, this is a specific area where Reddit’s data is way more valuable than books.

  Of course Reddit locking down access to that information leads to fewer people contributing. Reddit is dead, it’s just struggling to go down.

• The Saudi monarchy hates Islam and is shackled by it. Saudi Arabia had been on a “liberalization” plan under MBS, and it’ll be western soon enough.

  They’re following UAE’s doorsteps, and they’re even worse. You can now buy alcohol in public in UAE. You need a license (pay money and don’t be Muslim) or be a tourist, but it’s otherwise unrestricted. You can already wear almost nothing and you can literally be a Zionist who calls Muslims snakes and terrorist and you’ll be welcomed on a red carpet.

  Saudi wants that, they just don’t have control tight enough over their population to get away with that yet.

  So yes, they will not enforce Sharia on EA games, they’re hoping one day they don’t have to do any "moral’ restrictions on content domestically. As long as it brings in money.

• I wouldn’t call WSL service, Linux environment integrated into Windows is more accurate. With WSL 2, Linux actually runs using a lightweight virtual machine with a real Linux kernel, while still being tightly integrated with Windows. It’s a proper Ubuntu (or whatever you want really) installation that you can run a production server off of.

• Not really. Microsoft did WSL to keep Linux users from leaving, and to gain back Windows server share. Both worked, but keeping me in Windows by allowing me to use Linux means I’m still using, expanding my usage, and becoming more dependent on Linux.

  It’s exposing Windows devs to Linux, and getting people using it. Every WSL installation of Ubuntu is an installation that likely would never have been done otherwise.

• But they keep implying they are software engineers using JSON in a development capacity… I’d understand a system admin updating a config file to only be familiar with the syntax, but if you’re consuming JSON in your code you either understand the spec enough to implement it, or you didn’t write that code…

  Something rubbed me wrong about not knowing what JSON is and insulting web developers as not real software engineers in the same breath.
